| Hi Ruben. I too have similar electronic/computer music tastes.
Who is Ashra Temple? An offshoot of TD?
Todd.

| By accident I just read about two albums by Klaus Schulze released
on CD. That is "Irrlicht" A.V.I. CD 2001 and "Picture Music" A.V.I.
CD 2003. Irrlicht is recorded in 1972 and have the subtitle "Quadro-
phoniche Symphonie fur Orchester und E-Machine". He used an organ,
guitar and some percusion, and than a Polymoog. "Picture Music"
is from 1973, and here he used ARP 2600, ARP Odyssey, EMS VCS 3
and a Farfisa organ. Other albums are "Black Dance" and "Timewind"
I have never heard any of these albums, so I have no clue of how
it sounds.
Source "Music Video Systemes" which is a french "MIDI-Home studio-
Video" magazine.

| Love those colorful descriptions, Ruben. Keep 'em coming...
> your inner part in the brain. NEW AGE OF EARTH is a sonic colorful
> glide over iced oceans, tangram landscapes, endless skies...
Is this New Age of Earth an ensemble name, or the name of an album by
Ashra?
Using your expressive descriptions, can you describe the band Stunim Obak?
Todd.

| Ruben,
What is this 'Electronic Opera' by Stockhausen? Do you
perchance mean 'Hymnen'? Or 'Song of the Youth' (can't remember
how to spell the German, 'Gesang der Junglinges' or something
like that)?

637.12 | Synthesized music and the Subconscious | BARNUM::RHODES | | Thu Jan 15 1987 13:03 | 24 |
| Late night, eh Tom.
Ruben, the link between TD's synthesized music and the subconscious mind
is exactly why I view TD as pioneers in using electronic/synthesized music
for creating subconscious visual imagery. This is the very reason that
they were interested in creating movie soundtracks. Unfortunately, some
of their worst music was generated for soundtracks, simply because movies
are created for the sole purpose of making money, and in this respect TD
are fish out of water. Their music is best left as an entirely auditory
experience, in which the visual imagery is left up to the creativity of
the mind...
Their use of color and timbres in their music (again, except for most of their
soundtracks) is very carefully chosen. Most people who don't understand
that the intent of their music is to *communicate with* the mind, rather
than *dictate to* the mind, don't appreciate their use of electronic
instruments or their music.
RE: Jim
I feel that although this topic doesn't pertain directly to computer music,
that it is of interest to a large percentage of readers of this conference.
Comments?
Todd.

its a refreshment to break from the discussions about
which drum machine has the best midi implimentation, etc...

637.15 | Huh? | STAR::MALIK | Karl Malik | Thu Jan 15 1987 18:18 | 20 |

I would have to agree. This is the Computer MUSIC file. A
discussion of music produced with the aid of computers would seem
to be very much appropriate. Although it is strangely rare in
this conference.
Oh gee, I've forgotten the name of the person who started this
note. Sorry. Well, whoever you are, could you slow down to 70
so we could figure out what the heck you are talking about?
What I am familiar with (Stockhausen, Xenakis, Cage) does not
always seem to connect with what I am unfamiliar with (ASHRA, etc.).
How much of the information & terms come from you, and how much
from other sources?
I think we could have a nice discussion if you would clue some
of us in.

Now I get it. Strange, I took what you said just as you
had to explain it a few notes later, (didnt get the reference
to TOM either.)
There *is* this obscure bug in NOTES and MAIL that occasionally
clobbers your messages by removing all nuance, tone of voice,
and other cues necessary for reconstructing the emPHAsis (my
own EMphasis) of the note. Thus the interpretation can occasionally
get meffed up.
I'm sure we'll all be glad when they find it.

| This, now this, is a decent note about computer music. 600+
notes and finally something relevant. I don't understand a word
of it, but that's my problem. Keep it here.
